Classic AP Blackout Days & Family Discount?

[markpsych]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find the blackout days for the Classic AP?

Also, does anyone know how much the family discount is on 5 or more APs?

Thanks

I can't help with the blackout dates Mark, but the family AP discount is 20% when you buy 5 or more all at the same time - and shareholders 15% discount can be combined with this (its the only time they can be combined).

Does anyone know if the classic has the same restriction as the francilien on 2nd, 3rd day use ?

yes, unfortunately it does Jill.

 

[jillrobinson]

Not worth considering for us then as our first day is a blackout day too, we'll stick with the Fantasy

Thanks everyone!

That combined shareholders and family discount is sure tempting Elaine.

To save me searching....what's the minimum that the shares will cost me?

so for 5 shares its about 40 euros, plus a buying fee by Halifax for example of around £18, plus 30 euros shareholders club admin fee to join and get your shiny shareholders club card .

We didn't renew our Dream passes in April as they wouldn't combine the family discount and the 18 month offer (they did when we renewed in Oct 2009) and planned to buy new ones in August.

With the family discount 5 Dream AP's are €796

With the shareholders discount does this mean I can get another 15% off, therefore €676.60 ?

That's right.

Do you really want so many Dream APs?

We've always had 1 Dream and 5 Fantasy, as only 1 Dream was required for the discounts, etc.

Thinking about going for 1 Fantasy and 5 Francilien this time to save even more.

I might be wrong but I think the -15% shareholder discount combined with the family discount is only valid on buying Fantasy and Dream PAs

lol, never simple is it!

Can anyone confirm?

 

[markpsych]

And another question!

Just thinking.....as we generally stay at the DCR (1 booking with 5 guests), we'll always have one ticket, so only really need 5 APs for family of 6.

Can we get the family discount with 1 Fantasy and 4 Franclien, or do they all have to be the same APs?

EDIT: No we can't....just read the fine print here: http://www.dlrpmagic.com/planning/booking/annual-passports/

Looking at the shareholders site it seems to be Fantasy and Dream with the 2 discounts combined

http://corporate.disneylandparis.com/shareholders/shareholders-club/discounts/index.xhtml

This Annual Passport discount is limited to Shareholders Club members and their families only (living at the same home address) and only for five Annual Passports per member per year. Cannot be combined with any other promotional or special offers. Can only be combined with the family discount (for a single family, same address, in compliance with the general conditions of Annual Passports Brochure) on Fantasy and Dream Passports. Excludes sponsorship offers.

 

[markpsych]

Thanks for clarifying Cat.

In that case, it looks like a shareholders card and 15% discount, combined with a 20% family discount on 5 Fantasy APs is the way to go.

Please correct me if I'm still wrong, lol

Our main reason for the Dream AP's is EMH and also we dont have to worry about any blackout days. Three are for children so all our visits are during school holidays and actually over Christmas is our favourite when most of the other AP's have blackout days.

Will have to look for a cheap way to buy shares as saving €30 on the AP's is worth it.

Hello all, I'm new to this site after finding it last night and spent hours on here reading all your wonderful comments,
If you dont mind i would like to just ask is it possible to get the 20% family discount of buying 5 AP's and to get 10% on top if someone sponsors you?

Hello

If you get the -20% as you buy 5 (fantasy or dream) family APs you can't add the -10% sponsoring discount

You can only do the -20% with the shareholders,cast members or disabled discount
